Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Risk Factor for Mortality and Length of Stay in Neonatal Sepsis

The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is inexpensive and included as part of complete blood counts studied in various clinical conditions and sepsis. Alterations in NLR have been associated with disease severity and outcomes. The study aimed to determine whether NRL can be a prognostic marker for mortality/length of stay in neonatal sepsis. This retrospective cohort study examined the relationship between high NLR and mortality/length of stay in neonatal sepsis in neonates treated at RSUP Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar from January 2018 to December 2020. Data from 138 neonates with complete medical records were analyzed. The NLR value increased more with mortality outcomes and length of stay less than seven days. No significant association was found between NLR and patient outcomes or length of stay. The study has found no association between NLR and outcomes or length of hospital stay in neonatal sepsis.

Relationship between TLR-2 level and clinical or radiological severity on patients with tuberculosis spondylitis in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital Makassar.

Spinal tuberculosis or TB spondylitis is one of the most common types of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, which is about 15% of all cases. It causes severe morbidity, neurological deficits, and severe deformities in the patients. The growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in culture specimens obtained from infected tissue is the single gold standard diagnostic test for spinal TB. Toll-like receptor (TLR) is one of the important receptors in the first-line defence system against microbes. TLR-2 and TLR-4 are known to be associated with tuberculosis infection. Based on this background, the researchers were interested in examining the relationship between TLR-2 levels and the clinical and radiological severity of TB spondylitis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted with patients diagnosed with tuberculosis spondylitis at Dr Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. Patients diagnosed with TB spondylitis confirmed by blood tests, GeneExpert, and magnetic resonance imaging without prior treatment were included. Data analysis were conducted by using descriptive analysis and one-way ANOVA for bivariate analysis. The mean value of TLR2 levels in TB spondylitis patients was 9.1 g/dL. TLR2 levels in paraesthesia were significantly higher than normal (P < .05). Similar trend were analyzed on the motor neurologic status with TLR2 levels in paraparesis were significantly higher than those in normal (P < .05). There is a significant relationship between the TLR2 levels in TB spondylitis and their impaired motor and sensory function. Spinal destruction has been shown to provide significant relationship with TLR2 value in spondylitis TB.

EFFECTIVENESS OF LEVEL 1 PROGRESSIVE MOBILIZATION ON DECREASED INTRACRANIAL ADAPTIVE CAPACITY IN HEMORRHAGIC STROKE CASES

The prevalence of stroke diagnosed by doctors in Indonesia in 2018 was aged ≥ 15 years (10.9%) or an estimated 2,120,362 people. South Sulawesi has the highest prevalence of stroke based on diagnosis and symptoms reported by health workers. Hemorrhagic stroke is a stroke caused by rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, which results in downstream ischemia and hypoxia. One of the interventions that can be done to overcome the decrease in intracranial adaptive capacity is to perform stage progressive mobilization. The purpose of the case study was to carry out nursing care in hemorrhagic stroke patients with reduced intracranial adaptive capacity using level 1 progressive mobilization interventions in the ICU RSUP. Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar. The method used is a case study with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, physical examination and documentation. The results showed that level 1 progressive mobilization once a day for 3 days before and after the intervention found that level 1 progressive mobilization could be used to stabilize blood pressure, level of consciousness and oxygen saturation. The conclusion based on the results show that the implementation of level 1 progressive mobilization showed that on the first day to the third day of implementation there was an increasing in hemodynamic state, in this case the blood pressure improved, oxygen saturation increased and the level of consciousness increased. This indicates that level 1 progressive mobilization is effective in patients who have problems with decreased intracranial adaptive capacity&#x0D;

Perbandingan Efektivitas antara Ivabradin 5 mg dengan Bisoprolol 5 mg dalam Menjaga Kestabilan Hemodinamik pada Tindakan Laringoskopi Intubasi

Background: Laryngoscopy intubation can cause complications in the form of increased blood pressure and heart rate. This can be detrimental to patients with cardiovascular complications, increased intracranial pressure, and vascular anomalies. Various procedures are performed to stabilize hemodynamic fluctuations during laryngoscopy intubation, one of which is the administration of beta-blocking agents (Bisoprolol). In some studies, the administration of Bisoprolol can cause side effects such as hypotension and bradycardia. One drug considered to maintain hemodynamic stability in laryngoscopy intubation with minimal effects is the administration of Ivabradine, which works by regulating diastolic depolarization.&#x0D; Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Ivabradine 5 mg and Bisoprolol 5 mg in maintaining hemodynamic stability in laryngoscopy intubation.&#x0D; Methods: This double-blind randomized clinical trial was conducted at RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar in July-August 2022 with ethical qualifications from the Ethics Committee for Biomedical Research in Humans from the Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University.

What Did the Neonatal Integrative Developmental Care Model and Routine Developmental Care Affect on Stress of Premature Babies?

BACKGROUND: Neonatal integrative developmental care model (NIDCM) is a holistic model of premature baby care referring to seven basic neuroprotective developmental cares (DCs) by involving the family. AIM: This study aimed to assess the effect of the application of NIDCM on the stress response of premature babies. METHODS: The research design used was quasi-experimental with a non-equivalent control group pre- and post-test. The study was conducted in the neonatal care room of Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo Makassar Hospital from January 2020 to April 2021. The sample was 76 subjects consisting of 38 premature babies (19 controls and 19 interventions) and 38 mothers (19 controls and 19 interventions). The collected samples were taken to the Medical Research Laboratory of Universitas Hasanuddin (HUMRC) for testing. Furthermore, baby stress was assessed from salivary cortisol levels by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. In addition, the effect of initial cortisol, final cortisol, and birth weight on changes in salivary cortisol in premature babies was determined using the Chi-square test. RESULTS: Neither NIDCM intervention nor routine DC has been shown to descriptive statistically decrease the stress response of premature babies in the neonatal care room, some of which are even increased. However, specifically in premature babies with a birth weight of &lt;1800 g, NIDCM showed a better effect in lowering cortisol after treatment than regular DC. CONCLUSIONS: The application of NIDCM intervention reduces the stressor felt by the babies in the neonatal care room, besides the condition of babies with a birth weight of fewer than 1800 g needs special attention with the NIDCM intervention.
